To : ' r. Chaffee, our nrincioal, we give our sincere ap- preciation and gratitude for giving us much helpful advice during our Senior year, lie also leave him our unfailing courtesy in school, our low, well-modulated voicco, and our zeal for study , so th t he may pass out these fine gifts to students as their needs rcauire. To Mrs. Severance, we leave our love and our thanks for the help she gave us when aje needed her. Also we leave 23 vacant seats in Room 4 with the hope that they will be filled in the future with students as intelligent as the. former oc- cupants . To the Faculty, v;ho have worked so hard for us , wo leave all the knowledge, which did not penetrate. We wish them, better luck with the classes to come. To Mr. Stewart, we leave an electric meowing machine, so that in the near future he will just have to sit back, push a button, and let the machine do the rest. To the Junior Class, ie leave our battered books, our cheiaed Pencils, ' ' nd our worn-out brains, so that the Juniors can go right to work. To the Sophomores, ic leave class c ' irit , so they may have a gradur te . part of our energy and few parties before they To the Freshmen, we leave all dirty blackboards to be T ashed thoroughly.

This will help Helen to maize her friends a little more cheer- ful during lony ciu.izzes. Robert Soule leaves his pep, viyor, and enormous ap- petite to Andrew Cameron. We hope that this leyacy doesn’t kill Andy. Dob also leaves his aptitude for disappearing to Karal Jelskis. To Dick Gardner, Du ' id Campbell bequeaths his height so that in the near future Dick will not feel embarrassoCL when asking a certain girl for a cate. To Pat Coffin, Constance Vcrccllone leaves her ability to say always the riylit thing at the right time, so that in the future Pat will stay out of trouble. To Alan Howe, Sa.nford Waters leaves one-half of humor, so that Krs. Severanee v ill still have someone to make her chuckle, Sanford also leaves his scat in the bcil- er room to his brother, Robert. To Elena Carima., Dorothy Spencer bequeaths her title of ’’class Juliet” knov ing that Elena will ably fill her shoes. To James Coffin, Don Childs leaves his happy-go-lucky attitude, so that in the future Jimmy will not impress every- one with his quiet and serious manner. To Constance Clayton, May Byhman contributes her abili- ty to have a good time no matter what the conditions, hoping that in the future Connie will not always be so bored. To Bob Keith, Mac Alilstrom bequeathf the remarkable speed and skill with Yirhich she uses a broom. Wc are sure that Bob will find this useful in sweeping the corridors next year. To Edna liing, Dili Wilson bequeaths her dancing feet, hoping that Edna will dance, instead of ’’sitting them out” v;ith the pi.onograph. To Beverly Parker, Dorothy Robinson leaves her charming personality. But, docS ppaiiy need it?

After settling down in our rightful plrccs, v e found, to oui’ intense srtisfretion Miss Pierce rs our class rdviscr. On l hc whole thrt yerr v;e rttonded strictly to busi- ness. Once, ho’ cver, we grtiiercd together on th ' big rod school bus rnd went on a roller sk ' ting party to Ifiiit ' City. Our only other social event was a Soohomorc Ko’o at ' which we all h.- ' d ' ' good time. Misfortune indeed befell us at the end of our Soohomore year when the Boylston students I ' eft Major Edwards High School and divided the number of our class in tW ' O. However, ' c looked oxwect- ntly forward to the joys and of coui-Gc, the studies looming on the horizon of our Junior year . He were now uwocr classmen and the outsider easily dis- tinguished us by our nuiet and subdued manner. As v. ' as habitual Trith us, wc ' oerforracd our duties before we once thought of pleasures, and so our first memorable event of the ye r v;as the selection of our class rings. Ap big ' ■n event as this was however, it was over- shadovred by a big:g r event a ignif ic. ' nt of the Junior Year — the Junior Play. Coached by Mr. Letendro, Peck ' s 3rd Boy enjoyed a huge success. Our talented classmates certainly outdid themselves iicre . And then the Junior Prom. The setting was an evening scene overlooking a l rgc city from a rooftop garden. Bright lights glowed and flashed in the distance and dark- ened buildings loomed up against the starry sky. It was surely a splendid warty. At the end of our Junior year faced with regret the deoarture of our principal and friend, Mr. Craig. But, nevertheless, wc l.ookrd eagrrly forward to our row principal and our Senior year , t Major Edv ards. On September 3, 1941, vre entered again, but this time much more sedately than -ac had three ye-rs before, the stately portals of Major Ed v ' ' rds High School. He took our old -Places in Room 3 with genial Mr. Kenney in his right- ful Place UP front. Imagine our delight ’hen we found our new principal, Mr. Chaffee, an all-round sv ell fellow ivho has remained throughout our Senior year ready and willing to be helpful to us in countless ways. After the declaration of war, Mr. Kenney left us to Jain the United States Aviation Corps. On December 8, v e Seniors sponsored a farewell party for .him and, as a small token of our friendship, our immense pride in him, presented him v ith a traveling clock. We were sorry to lose Mr. Kenney and en- joy the fine letters he writes to us occasionally , To our extremiC satisfaction we then found I-Irs. Severance as our class adviser. So the Seniors moved, bag and baggage, upstairs to Hoorn IV and so reigned supreme on the top floor. Later, we chose our caps and gov ns matching them with our class colors; maroon and v hite and our class flower, which ic white rose. Along about January, all the Seniors could be seen wearing their most charming smiles or most dignified ex- pressions. The rest of the school began to wonder and breathed a long, audible sigh of relief when we traipsed in to the photographer to be phot ographed. The results, oddly enough, v cre extremely pleasant and for a while, there was much ado ovr the hustle and bustle of swapping class pic- tures . But, such a ser ious-mindLd class-; could not afford to be wasting valuable time and after a few prodding s from Mrs. Severance, we all put our hearts and minds to thoughts of the yearbook. Many times Mrs. Severance v;rung her hands in despera- tion, but she sees now ho w needlessly she worried. Earl also had his misgivings, but no one let him down. Some say that I When at last to the printer ' s, hairs among his caused from, some operation as he everything was all assemiblcd and sent on Earl ' s mother found several pure v hite curl; locks. His v orry must have been other source, hov ever, for with such co- had, how could the yearbook be anything short of a literary miast erpiece? Amid all our troubles and tribulations, we found time to make plans for that memorable Senior event, Glass Day. We decided to combine our banquet and class day exercises. Chara.ct eristic gifts v ere orosonted to each Senior and speeches were olanned. The ideas of the v hele trip centered around having fun on our last good time together before graduation. Beneath all this f ayety,. hov cver, the Seniors now ara thinlcins sincerely and earnestly” about the future With our country at war, v e are all more than ever eager to be out in the world doing our part And so this concludes the historical biography of the class of 1942, and it is ;ith the expectation that merabcrs of our class will make nctev orthy contributions to the Amer- ican way of life and to the world V e know that as the. years go by, this event of graduation from high school willi be listed among the noteworthy achievements in a life of usefulness.

ViDiy should America be forced, every generation or so, to sidetrack her progress toward deeper and v ider democracy; to go on food and fuel rations, give up her aluminu:.: pots and pans, send her sons into the armed forces, end bleed herself white with taxes every time Europe has a convulsion? It is not a question of keeping Afnerica out of Europe ' s wars but a question of keeping Europe ' s wars out of America i viJhat can America do about it? Louis Adamic ' s latest book, Two-Way Passage , has a concrete, dramatic suggestion for defeating the anti-democratic forces that threaten the world ' s future- It is not another League of Uacions, not a union of people of common spc-ech, not another class war . What he proposes, in outline, is the full utilization of the most famous, successful, and practical experience in history — the American Experience. In spite of the success of such excellent propaganda stunts as the V-campaign, there will be — especially should the Nazis apperr to h ve v-on in Russir — a certain tendency on the part of the people of Europe to reconcile themselves to Hitler and make the best of a bad situation. At the same time, subversive resistance to Hitler will continue, but weaken — unless the anti-Nazi forces outside the Continent produce an idea and olan so dram ' tic and unique, so sound and feasible, that it win seize the im gin- t ion of the European people and set their souls afire; not only of the conquered and captive nations, but of the German people as well. For it is probable that no one else can destroy Hit- ler and Nazism more quickly than the Germans. And this is the unique function of the United States: To instigate, in our OTvn x ray, an American revolution in Eur- ope. The European emigrants found in this country a place where they were free to build whatever kind of society they pleased. And these European emigrants founded a democracy here in America. The answer is obvious: The people of Eur- ope Wviuld also establish ccsiolete democracy V7ithin all Eur- ope — if they had the opportunity, if there were no barriers in their way, and if they were free . All they need is an historic moment. We can give It to them. the war ends with Hitler ' s defeat, G-ermrny will be the core of the Europoa.n problem. Who can take hold there? Louis Adamic believes that only Americans will be able to help Germany get established immediately after the Nazi col- lapse. - Adamic wants the United States to help set up a Nation of Nations with widespread equalized welfare and opportuni- ty, and the principles and practices of freedom and democ- racy, law end order. He v;ants to sec the individual become importcant and free in Europe and cease being trrmpled on Hew can we do this? Lcuis Adamic suggests that we de- velop among our ovm tumbling millions of foreign origin, the new leaders for whom Europe waits. These lerders must be cap ' -ble Americans who believe in everything that is democra- tic and right. They will be sent to Europe, along with an International Army mostly made up of the American-born sons of Immigrants, to help establish a democratic system all oveh Europe. As soon as competent European leaders appear to govern their countries under the nev system, the Ameri- cans will return home with the satisfacticncf c Job wll done. The folks in urepe have never seen most of us before, but we won ' t be strangers; not cc ' nquerers or invaders, nor intruders — but visitors It won ' t be anything new. Remember, the Creel Commit- tee in 1917-1918 helped to organize the setup fer the future Czechoslovakia. Now we ' ve get to do the same job for all Europe.,. in order to destroy Hitlerism. .. to hasten the end of the war. ., to save our own national character and morale... and to open the passage tc the future for all the world. It is essential that we take back home cur American idea of democracy, our Four Freedoms, cur unity v ithin di- versity. Ve must return with ur -American Experience sc that Europe will see it at a glance and transfor.m its hatreds, shed its exh -usticn and gather strength. The suggestion • ' •hich Two - ViFay - assage presents is a chaliangc tc America, to her present, and above all tc her spiritual, econcmic, cond industrial resourcefulness, whose realization looks toward the preaerv.ation and unchecked growth of the American Experience, and outlines a passage to frcodem for .mankind -Marjorie Phelps UNITY OR DEFEAT? Today, more than ever, unity aiTion rll peoples, races, is necessary to -in the war in which we are now en -aged. Unity can be attained in one i rc.y only, ' -nd that is .by casting aside any discriiriin tiens between races and creeds and by treating every man as a man with mutual feeling and under,- irnding. There ar evils which, through the subtlety of the Axis propaganda machine, are being successfully spread threuj hout the n: tion. Hitler and hie gan ster-terroist s would bc- deeply gratified if - ' e Americans believed that Democracy is dying, that we are only a tool for our Brother England and, l:st but by no means least, that civilian sacrifices will be too great tc bear. Are we going to make Hitler ' s campaign a success? Are we going to argue and bickei’ over indivio.ual sacri- fices needed to win his war? Shall we destroy our cv n uni- ty, and thus pl ' :y into the h.- nds of the Fuehrer? Or shall we, throu ,-! grim determination, defeat his scheme; accept his challenge; and rid the world forever wf the deceit- and trickery of totc.litarianism? Wo must annihil. te that ..enemy threatening to obliterate courage, self-reliance, self-com- mand, hardihood, capacity fer work, power of initiative and power of obedience all of which we associate with Democracy, In order to keep our Democracy, we must have eternal faith in it; we must be united; wc- must cast aside discrimination of race, color, and creed; we must face occasional defeats courageously and rccept our victories, not over-conf idontly, but with the assurance that we, as a united Democratic ndh tion, vrill not die. In order tc be successful in thie war,’ we can, v e will, . nd we must support it all the way through. Let us remember th -t Americrn unity is an effective saboteur of Axis power. } As we, the class of 1942, leave cur beloved Democratic school and its teachers, v e face the uncertain vrcrld, filled with the terror and horror of War, but we here- highly re- solve- that, through c ur personal, untiring, and needed ef- forts, Thie nation under G-od shall have a new birth of Freedom, and that Government of the people, by the people, and for the people shall not perish from the earth. — Kenneth Gallagher YOUTr O ' VES YOELD boon an rv ' nyday attention to tbo and nuch less c. ov c to soci ' ty and notional lif has not tonic, Sono it, norheaps ■ ' ' .rvc paid little fact that snch an ohlipation roally -xists, ttontion to exactly’ vdiat that oblige tion is.

Perhaps the -oeople of those times ivere oredicting the end or ruin of civilization just as some are today. Let me cite two nuotations; (1) There is scarcely anything around us but ruin and desoair . (2) The dictators x-rill destroy every trace of civili- zation in the x rorld and force mankind back into a savage state . These ciuotations were taken not from recent statements on the oresent rorld situations, out from statements made a hundred and forty years ago. ' he first is by William Pitt and the second by Thomas Jefferson. So far in the World ' s history, humanity has been stronger than the forces of destruction and tyranny. In the midst of remember . today ' s struggle , that is a consoling fact to Fir mi belief s will also be imports nt in facing the ■oroblems that will confront us. We x rill need faith in our ideals, in our opinions, in our own strength and ability to deal x ' ' ith situations, and above all faith in G-OD. Self- confidence and the x ill to succeed are easential to any undertaking. The person who is not sure he x ill succeed is doomed to failure from the start. We do need firm beliefs as far as religion is concerned. Differences in doctrines and creed are unimportant as long as people have a sincere and enduring faith in G-OD. The final attitude of mind that x;ill be necessary to us,, if ve are to pay our debt to the xv’orld x e x ant to live in, is that which, for lack of better name, we call understand- ing. It includes kindness and justice tox rard the customs, ambitions and weaknesses of the people. It is a spirit of fellowship for all people and an interest in their lives and xvelf are . Perhaps x e look upon the future and its problems v ith hope and eagerness unv arranted by present xixorld conditions. But today it is time to sit calmly in an easy chair and talk about a democracy that x jorks . It is a time in x xhich every man, x oman and child must combine efforts to make it x-zork. We can all thank G-OD for a country x-zliere faith has not been destroyed. We can thank GOD for America, my land and your land. — Mildred Cheever RAILROADS— A PaTHvVAY OF PROGRESS Pew fail to tlirill at the sight of a majestic locomo- tive consiiming the miles as it whirls to its destination; yet fev; people know the story behind the many miles of rail- road. At first, man traveled on foot. But man has always been in a hurry. He found animals could carry him faster. Later he discovered the ' wheel and he constructed carts and wagons. By 1SS9 remarkable progress was achieved in transporta- tion; a horse-drav n, cumbersome vehicle, having the appear- ance of a box on wheels, was knov n to have traveled fifty miles in a single day. Shortly after, came V att ' s invention of the steam engine, and then the first locomotive, or steam carriage, the invention of a French soldier. The steam carriage attained the remarkable speed of three miles an hour, a rate of speed that frightened both people and ani- mals. Used at first for hauling guns, the engine so fright- ened soldiers that it had to be abandoned. The first engine built in America v as the DeWitt Clin- ton v hich attained the Incredible speed of twenty miles an hour and accommodated forty passengers in four cars. Instead of the old bottle- shape engine, this new locomotive was hor- izontal and hauled passenger cars resembling old stage coaches. In those days there was never an idle moment on a train ride. Waen the conductor rang the bell, the train would start with a jerk, Imocking off men’s silk hats and toupees and sending the passengers sprawling into the aisles on their neighbor’s laps. The smoke stack would belch out such sparks that the passengers had to keep busy ducking them if they wanted to escape unscathed. Break-downs and collisions with animals were frequent. Indeed, it was con- sidered a daring thing to ride a train, and since few people were daring, the early railroads were a failure. Nearly two decades later the railroad v as on its way to success, for Pullman had built his first car. Short and lov;-roofed, it had springless seats and open washrooms, but, most important, it offered upper berths to customers weary or courageous enough to sleep on a train. Crude as it was, this car was the luxury of the times; however, people still preferred sleeping in Inns to sleeping on a box on wheels” . Trains of today can average eighty miles an hour and carry over one hundred fifty passengers and twenty - five hun- dred pounds of mall . Passenger trains consist of baggage car, two ultra-modern seat cars, diner, observation car, and sleeper. Steel construction, scientific ventilation, hot water, lounges, spacious dimensions and various other con- veniences have made it a hotel on wheels. The fact that the present day streamliner is as safe and comfortable as it is fast does not mean that improvement is no longer possible. Research laboratories are still con- quering the unexplored fields of metallurgy, electricity, chemistry and many branches of engineering essential to railroads. The test tubes and blue prints of today will yield things of beauty and comfort tomorrow, for v;ith the scientists of yesterday is the pioneer spirit that makes America a leader on the pathv:ay of progress. — Earl Belles 1937 Clsra Baldarelli — Liggett ' s Marion Ballou — married Charles Boynton — New York University Graduate work Clavin Brackett — Heald ' s Herbert Cheever — Staff Ser- i§aht U.S. Army Eleanor Collie — married Muriel Comfort — Buck’s Chair , Shop Beverly Cummings — married Alice Deignan — Medical Sec- retary at Memorial Hos- pital Rita Gallagher — Buck ' s Chair Shop Dorothy Gustafson — Norton Co.
